Read what some of our past
customers had to say about our food:

I have been to Richard’s
on different occasions…the food and service is wonderful! I
love the eccentricity of the place, it is warm and inviting! Will
certainly keep going back! – Jacqueline D.

Having spent 8 years in Germany
I have tried several "German" restaurants and this is the first
that is fairly authentic. – Mark M.

Working for a German company, I
often find myself over in Europe a couple times a year. The food
reminds me of sitting down at a community table in Koln, enjoying a
hearty meal with a couple of liters of good beer. Very authentic
food and excellent German beer selection. – Justin
C.

One of my all-time favorite
restaurants. The food is always prepared with love and care. The
flavors are authentic. The schnitzel and spaetzle are out of this
world. Try the Don Ricardo for dessert! – Nicole
O.

Richard's Restaurant is one of
my wife's and my favorite places for a relaxing meal. Every time we
go it takes us back to our trips overseas to Germany. – John
J.

This place is fantastic. It is
rare to find genuine German food, and one that can overcome the bad
reputation German food seems to have. Everything from Richard
himself greeting us, to the amazing German beer selection and food
was perfect. – Brent C.

If you like German food, then
Richard's is the place for you. The food and service were great and
I'm glad we'd called ahead for a reservation. BTW, the deserts are
incredible too. Highly recommended! – Breck W.
